History
IIn 1860 Frank Stewart Sandeman became a partner in Luncarty Bleachfield Co, Perthshire. In 1862 he founded the firm Laing and Sandeman with W Laing but it was dissolved in 1873 to form Sandeman, Keillor & Co. Keillor left a year later and that same year Manhattan Works opened in Dundee. As owner of these Works, Colonel Sandeman bought Stanley Cotton Mill in 1876-1880 with the support of the Duke of Atholl, renewing the historical Nairne link with the estates of Stanley and Atholl. In 1876 and 1887 respectively Stewart and Fred D Stewart Sandeman joined the firm to form F S Sandeman & Sons. After Fred's two younger brothers joined the firm in 1900, it became a limited company and in 1921 it amalgamated with Jute Industries Ltd. It went into voluntary liquidation in 1932. Although F Stewart Sandeman & Sons went into voluntary liquidation in 1932, the three Stanley Belting companies, the corporations of Chicago (1914-1944) and New York (1921-1934), (Canada) Ltd, Toronto (1927-1934) and the Sandeman Stanley Cotton Belting Co Ltd, London, (1924-1945), which had sales connections with South America, continued to trade variously. In the 1890s, a weaving process for cotton driving belting was bought and improved, as a concern, by Frank Stewart Sandeman. 'Stanley Solid Woven Cotton Belting' was a sales success. The Sandeman Stanley Cotton Belting Co Ltd, Dundee (1935-1941) had its origins in the Sandeman Stanley Cotton Belting Co, Stanley (1913-1929) and the firms of Frank Stewart (F S) Sandeman & Sons Ltd of Dundee, Stanley and Manhattan (1919-1929).
